You'd think the former Duke players on the Indiana Pacers roster -- Mike Dunleavy, Dahntay Jones and Josh McRoberts -- would have a field day hazing rookie North Carolina alum Tyler Hansbrough, but apparently Hansbrough's demeanor has made that impossible.

The downside of Hansbrough's automaton intensity? Rookie hazing is no fun for his teammates. He goes about the usual chores of bringing newspapers and donuts, but the trash talk has no impact. And why anger someone who's so eager to dish out punishment in practice?

Even the three former Duke players -- Dunleavy, Josh McRoberts and Dahntay Jones -- have given up.

Tyler not smart? Guess he should go driving without a seatbelt, like B. Hurley, or hop on a motorcycle despite a restriction in his contract, like Jason Williams. What smart guys they are. Then there was Laettner who started giving a hard time to the new draft pick, Kevin Garnett. He was gone the next week. What smart guys !

of course they cant faze him...did it work in college? theres a reason he didnt lose @ cameron. mental toughness. and it doesnt take mental toughness to deal wit 'hazing' from dookies. we're talkin typical underachieving duke bball players. they do aight in college, get to nba, and fizzle like a sparkler on the 4th of july. who cares how many dookies r in the nba? they dont do anything once they get there neway. danny ferry? thats ur great equalizer??? haha, thats more of a joke than a duke players nba career. good try though. haters hafta hate, thats ur job dookies, so please dont stop. u fuel people like hansbrough etc. many thanks, and BIG UPS..to all the haaaters.

Duke players also lead the league in overall contract worth as well...smart fellas to boot. When it comes down to it thats the name of the game tarholes...dam yall are ignorant! Go back to your shift work your break is just about over...

Back to my shift? Oh right, as soon as my vacation is over. However, in the meantime I think I'll have a couple of the entry-level Duke grads reporting to me stay a bit later tomorrow night. I'll be sure to send your compliments.....Happy Holidays to the Arrogant University of New Jersey at Durham grads whom are so superior.

Honestly jumping off the roof of a house into a pool thats dumb given. But you know Sheldon Williams guy with the biggest forehead in history. Got so drunk at a UNC frat party he passed out and had pictures posted on the internet of him being teabagged by Carolina fans. Now who indeed is dumber? Also Danny Ferry really? dont make Michael Jordan have to come over there and smack you with his good ring hand.

ROY WILLIAMS: "Hey, 12:24 pm...I WAS COACHING that embarrassment of an Olympic Team in '04 as well (I was Larry Brown's minion). Tar Hole pride!!! As a matter of fact, get the F*** out of this board. Yes, I'm talking to you".

By my count UNC alumni have 28 NBA championship rings as players, 2 as coaches, and 3 as general managers.Included in the players awards are 7 NBA Finals MVP awards.Duke alumni have 2 NBA championship rings as players, one of the lowest totals in the ACC. Ga Tech, NC State, Clemson, Fla St, Wake all have more. Neither of the two Duke players (Mullins, Ferry) winning a NBA championship ring scored in double figures. Ferry never got off the bench when any finals game was being decided.

11:48: This is problem with you Dookies. You think we couldn't start Stackhouse, concede he won't score as much as Maggette, and still win a team game. That's the same reason K can't beat the Heels. He can't assemble a team that wins.

Also, the list of Dookies in the NBA is probably wrong. Shav got cut a week or so ago.
